    I always want to point out to younger guys, that you couldn't carry the ball like you can today. That's why the dribbling looks different. West would feast in today's game.

      Absolutely Dragon. West would have scored 80+ in today's game in his prime, being able to travel and carry thr ball, dbl dribble the ways this generation of players Do. And it should all be called. Bron taking steps should not be allowed. But West players the game right, as it should be played. As did Wilt and Russell, Elgin, Bird. The all played the game correctly. And there was hard defense in West's era. I will really miss Jerry. My Dad's Fave player, along with Wilt, Russell, Elgin, Hondo and Dr J,who my Dad wanted me to pattern my personal mannerisms after. DR J and Jerry, because of my extreme height. I drive and repair rigs instead.
      West was oneof the best ever. RIP, to the fans friend.

    There wasn't a player then who could guard him and none today either. A pure shooter, especially in the clutch and if not the Russell Celtics - who beat the Lakers six straight times - he would have won more titles. He's on my All-Plumbers team with Russell/Wilt at center, West and Oscar Robertson at the guards and Elgin Baylor and Bob Pettit at the forwards. With Wilt at center it averages 138 points a game. With Russell, it's a defensive force. Go ahead, beat them .....

    @sparkspark2314 6 місяців тому +2

    I learned that jumper from him. That’s the ultimate weapon. He says it right from the beginning of this video. Only the offensive player knows when he’s going to shoot…so you always have the advantage. The hard last dribble is key. You’re already going up in the air on the stop and the ball isn’t so much picked up as going up with you in that split second. The lead plant foot stops you on the dime going in either direction. You’re up in the air before the defensive player has time to react. There’s no need to clown someone because you’ve already beat them. The emphasis on clowning people these days off the dribble is a complete waste of energy and time 90% of the time. KISS…keep it simple stupid. It’s about putting the ball in the hole. Period. That’s what he did. RIP JERRY WEST…you deserve it…you EARNED IT!❤❤❤❤❤💯

    I think West has an outside goat case. And an even stronger case for the best guard ever. I’d still take MJ in both spots, but it’s a legit argument. There was no weakness in his game. He could play both guard positions expertly. If he had the 3, who knows what changes. Obviously all the stats go up, but what does it mean for his ability to close games even better. If there was the 3, he’d be the holder of the greatest game winning shot by a country mile

    Whenever I see that shot against the Knicks I always notice how Reed sort of contested that shot. You'd think he'd let him shoot from that distance wanting to avoid any chance of a foul.
    What a player on both ends. The block from behind was a real specialty of his. It looks like Lou Hudson has him beat. Nope. West had tremendous recovery skill on defense. Walt Frazier was my favorite player, and a great player, but he wasn't West. 50 plus years ago I wasn't so ready to admit that.

    West reminds me of Bird in that he’d beat you with smarts over athleticism. Also, West looked like his left hand dribble and shot were clearly inferior to his right. Finally, West never seemed to have a crossover that could burn other guards.

    • @WiltChamberlainArchive
      @WiltChamberlainArchive  6 місяців тому +1

      West crossed over effectively to get space and blow by - but it was the 60s version of it that doesn’t carry - no double crossing left to right then left again and no hesitations - these types of crossovers seen today are violations in that era as they usually are done by carrying the ball or hesitating with a float dribble prior to the drive which is ignored by refs today. West certainly preferred his right hand on all shots as far as finishing goes short of the rare occasional left handed layup but went left easily and had many attacks going left including a good pull-up jumper setup

  • @ShifuCareaga

    West was the Larry Bird of his time, and that means he was for real the Truth on the floor. I guess we're about due for a repeat of the themes. If everyone would let it happen and stop trying to will it into existence. We'll get another Baylor/West/Cousey/Wilt/Jabar/Dr. J era that culminates in an unbelievable talent. It's happened what 3, 4 times now? People just need to be patient. All this pressure on Luka or A .Edwards is really unrealistic. Just enjoy the Jokic-Curry-Giannis era for what it is. BIG men with a few lil men dominating.

      I appreciate feedback like this as this is my goal, to actually show truly good plays from his opponents perspective, some fan or announcer perspective excitement, and good testimony - in as high a quality as possible. A lot of stuff out there has testimony like “Jerry was so quick!” …then they show something he did in slow motion, without a strong contest which doesn’t get the point across. The editors probably had time and budget constraints and didn’t truly comb through to find the legit plays or maybe they don’t play so they have trouble recognizing them. I’m trying to illustrate the real problem he was for defenders here when they talked about why he was so tough. Showing the proper clips that illustrate his game is key, but I’ve had lots of time to find clips like this I don’t think they put the time into it Is my best guess. But thank you for recognizing my efforts.
